Welcome back!
People just order stuff off the menu. As Efrem mentioned, I forgot to mention the address, which I'll update shortly. If you can take the T, it's about a five minute walk from either State Street or Park Street. We usually just hang out on the patio. Normally, I have pretty good weather karma, but when it comes to the Dos, my weather karma works in reverse, so hope for the best.

Spoke to Kinsale and we are set to go around 6. I've asked them to give us the side patio, the part that runs perpendicular to the street (our usual spot, for those who have been there before).

TL;DR: Sure, that's fine
If you're facing Kinsale, there is a patio on the right. We usually just hang out there. Look for the yellow FT tags on people's bags. We also notice people walking around looking confused, so we'll grab you if we see you.
Note: JY1024 sometimes brings yellow FT tags for people but, well, as you can see...
Oh, you didn't ask, but others did: In terms of food, drink and the like, people order individually and we generally pay as a group, with people paying me in cash for their orders (+25% for tip and tax, which is added in automatically) and then I just pay the bill (Yes, I get the points. If there's anyone else who wants to be the money gatherer, it's all yours.). If you need your own bill, for whatever reason, just let the server know early. Somehow, and I'm never quite sure how we do this, we always come within a few dollars of the right amount. On the one occasion where we were more than a few dollars over, the amount was donated to charity.

I'm going to have to cancel. 10% of the workforce at my company got the "pink slip". Going to dinner with a few of them and goodbye party for some who were lucky enough to find jobs before the layoffs were announced. I'm just happy I still have a job.
